Knock Offs

House brands rock
They do the job
They meet the need
if not the want

Knockoffs rock
You can’t tell what’s what
unless you’ve seen
real more than once

Counterfeits rock
Maybe they’re cheap but 
a cheap watch tells expensive time
at least for a little while

With that Bentley grille
on your Chrysler
you oughta drive it
like you stole it

Oughta steal something
The way you have the sizzle
without having the steak
oughta be a crime

but it’s not
It’s all for the best
in this best of all
probative worlds
